{GBF Life + Travel} Shanghai-The Good, Bad, and the Fabulous

I've been distracted by life so blogging has been on halt the past week which saddens me because the writing process is hands down my favorite part about blogging. I always tell people if today my readers left, the swag disappeared, and the invites bypassed my inbox, I'd still be happily writing away for an audience of one. I own fractional pieces of my life and even less is within my absolute control. So I take solace in the fact that the words I type, every single letter, is mine.

There's no better way to sum up Shanghai than through the power of Instagram filtered picture collages. I've come to see Shanghai as an old friend. We lost touch for a few years and once reunited, it takes time to reacquaint and embrace all the changes that have taken place. But once the acceptance kicks in, excitement overtakes the need for familiarity as the new Shanghai is glamorous, enticing, and absofuckinglutely fabulous.

Oh gosh, looks like an incredible trip! I love Chinese food, but I guess when it's bad, it's real bad ;) Looks like you had such a fun time shopping and taking everything in. Would love to visit Shanghai one day! xo

Out of all the more well-known Chinese cities, Shanghai actually isn't my favorite because I feel like it's so similar to every other metropolitan city... but I haven't been back to China in a couple of years now, and I'm finding myself wanting to be there more and more!

Oh God I almost threw up at that picture of dog meat! :o( I love dogs so that makes me very sad, luckily there was an array of gorgeous photos to take my mind away from that! You write beautifully darling so never fear you'll always have at least one loyal reader from now on! :o)

I have found that drinking tepid water (6-8 oz) with half a lemon squeezed into it gives me the alkaline ph I need to have so that I do not suffer from acid reflux. I drink this if I am suffering or at least once a day to give my liver a chance to detoxify at the same time.
